there goes that prediction.....GL played really well. Stan looked like he was trying to get the points over with too quickly and ended up being very inconsistent. I don't think Stan has played all that well since his Australian win.

Steve Johnson was down 2 sets to 2 to a 19 year old french qualifier and stormed back to win the 4th set. he's up 3 games to 1 in the 5th set to be resumed today after play was suspended due to darkness. The winner of this match will take on another American, Jack Sock. Who went through to the next round after his opponent withdrew.

Johnson looks good when he's motivated, hopefully he keeps it up and becomes the face of men's tennis along side Isner.

Serena is on the brink of disaster. She lost the first set and is now down 3 to 1 in the second....Make that 4 games to 1. Serena is literally reduced to tears right now, even taking out her frustration on the ball girls...

Her opponent is Garbine Muguruza from Spain, 20 years old. She's playing the match of her life.

Venus was beaten today.

Serena loses another game. Down 5 to 1 in the second set.

It's over. Serena is out. That's the #1 and #2 seed on the women's side out of the tourney.

Murray is going to have to play the most grueling match of his life to beat Rafa on the red dirt. If he wins it I would be very impressed even more so than his Wimbledon championship over Joker in three sets.

Both are playing great right now, but I have to give the edge to Djokovic. Mostly on recent past performances.

Quote:

The second-ranked Djokovic has now won four straight matches against Nadal -- the previous three in straight sets -- and takes the psychological edge into the French Open, which starts next weekend.

"It gives me a lot of confidence winning against Rafa in the finals of a big tournament on clay," he said. "It's definitely a confidence booster. It's an ultimate challenge and I'm very happy with my game so far and hopefully I can carry that into Roland Garros."

Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam that Djokovic has yet to win, with his best result a runner-up finish in 2012. Nadal has won the French Open eight times.
